Ever since I built the GENERIC kernel and only enabled SMP and gdb (not disabling anything ) this kernel has not crashed : ) I did upgrade the firmware on the Integrated RAID controller at the same time because I was simply out of troubleshooting time : ( Well so far so good :) (uptime 3 days) I did get this one stuck apache process (this machine is not even a web server so I don't really care that much) root@govmail ~ # ps wwwaux | grep httpd www 344 0.0 3.1 24500 15884 ?? R Thu07PM 0:37.99 /usr/local/sbin/httpd -DSSL but when I tried to kill it with kill -9 it refused to die. So I rebooted the machine and it got stuck on power down waiting for the second CPU to do "something" Sorry I didn't write it down. So, I had to drive to the machine (an hour away) and manually reset it. Anyway, it has been back up for 8 days, 8 hours, 14 minutes and I think the worst is over. I forgot to mention I have two of these Dell PowerEdge 440 boxes running 4.9-STABLE and they are doing just fine!
